I am very experienced with people requiring special needs! I have been surrounded with it all my life. My sweet sister, 22 years old, has Downs syndrome and she was held back in school so I could be her caregiver throughout our school years. My little brother, 2 years old, has just been diagnosed with autism and I've helped care for him since he came into our lives. I've been a volunteer for the Special Olympics for five years and just love to make new friends and help where I can. My grandmother has been adopting children with extensive special needs for over 40 years and I've been learning about many different conditions and the special needs they have.
